Corita’s h is for my heart & Otto Eglau’s Abstract Floating Landscape

h is for my heart         Abstract Floating Landscape (Abstakte Flotzlandschaft)

By Sarah Vernallis

My mother grew up in the San Fernando valley and remembers being taken to see exhibitions of work by Sister Corita Kent and her students. I remember being taken by my parents to see a documentary about her political art and radical teaching. It was a pleasure, then, to have one of Kent’s prints up in my home for a year, trying to decipher its poetic lines and staring at her penciled signature.
